Our local dirt track paid him for an appearance one night. He raced a local racers car in the late model division.

During the heat race and the engine expired, which sidelined the car for the night. Bobby took all of his appearance money and gave it to the owner of the car. It was rumored to be $5,000. He sat out the rest of the night in the stands signing autographs and shooting the breeze with fans.

Very nice man, no Hollywood attitude from him whatsoever, just a regular guy. You have to remember he was doing this for free at this point because he donated the money from his appearance to the car owner. I'll always remember how cordial, and down to earth he was. He sat in the stands for likely 3 hours interacting with the crowd, didn't rush off as soon as he could have.
